Does this inconvenience the wealthy? Yes

Are the wealthy the cause of the issue being protested? Yes

Did this publicize the cause? Yes

I can’t find major fault with them, good protest. My only issue is that it didn’t quite go far enough.

I don’t see a problem with that, although i think its not going to do anything.

There is nobody that doesn’t know about the issue, either people already care, they are insignificant about it or are just to poor to do anything.

We disrupted a @ChristiesInc auction today. The disruption was far less harmful than the devaluation that climate change will have on the world’s art masterpieces.

Sorry but this achieve nothing. This activism does two things, it makes the those participating feel righteous and gives the press a great story to denigrate activism.

Neither helps.

People get mad at climate protesters for throwing things on art and tell them to protest rich people propagating climate change instead. Here they are, finally protesting against the rich and people still find things to get mad at them about.

Yeah, because the pearl-clutching was never honest to begin with.

It’s hardly a new thing, after all – MLK called out the same types back in the day.

Whiny reactionaries are worthless and deserve to be ignored.

Sorry but your example is the same as the original one.

Performance that does nothing.

A man literally immolated himself in front of the Supreme Court and it was largely ignored. Disrupting things rich people like gets coverage and prompts people to remember we’re sleepwalking our way to disaster.

And who are the people you imagine are going to negatively react to a frivolous event for the super rich getting disrupted? Someone could have done that for literally no reason at all and I’d say “good job, more like that”.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
